Information

Bio

Dr. John Fasullo is a project scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. He received his B.Sc. degree in Engineering and Applied Physics from Cornell University (1990) and his M.S. (1995) and Ph.D. (1997) degrees from the University of Colorado.

Dr. Fasullo studies processes involved in climate variability and change using both observations and models with a focus on the global energy and water cycles. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers dealing with aspects of this work, aimed primarily at understanding variability in clouds, the monsoons, and the global water and energy cycles. His work has centered on identifying strengths and weakness across observations and models, and has emphasized the benefits of holistic evaluation of the climate system with multiple datasets, theoretical constraints, and novel techniques. Dr. Fasullo is a member of various committees and science teams, and participated in the IPCC AR4 report that contributed to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to IPCC in 2007.
